By Ravi - March 05, 2025 11:33 AMThe final match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played on March 9. Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, has booked a ticket to the final of the Champions Trophy.
Team India entered the final by defeating Australia by 4 wickets on March 4. Players including Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer played an important role in India's victory. Hardik Pandya played a match-finishing innings when King Kohli was out. During this, he himself got injured, which has increased the tension of Team India.
During the 47th over of the Indian innings, Adam Zampa bowled a short leg-spin delivery, Pandya played the ball towards extra cover and immediately went for a single, but due to the aggressive style in which Pandya was playing, he thought of taking a second run, but KL Rahul stopped him by gesturing and asked him to return.
When Pandya started going back after listening to KL, he suffered a strain in his leg. Due to the sudden stop, he was limping and looked uncomfortable. Despite the pain, he continued batting. However, in the 48th over, Nathan made him his victim. Glenn Maxwell took his catch. During this, Hardik Pandya could score only 28 runs in 24 balls. Earlier in the match, he also took a wicket with the ball.
In the first semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Team India defeated the Australian team by 4 wickets. In the match, the Australian team was all out after scoring 264 runs in 49.3 overs. In response, Team India achieved the target in 48.1 overs. Virat Kohli scored the highest 84 runs in the match. With this victory, Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, entered the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian team will now play the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 on March 9.
